[Intro]
            

   Aw, sorry, 

fuck, my—
          
One, two, thre

                    
e, four


[Verse 1]

Young man, the

re's a place y

ou can go, you

 can hide
  
I know you'll 

never be fully

 done or fully

 satisfied
             
You want the w

              
orld, want the

              
 girl, everyth

         
ing in between
    
And she was si

tting next to 

me last night 

at the bowery

Sick to her st

omach as she s

ipped gin and 

tonic
             
Telling me she

              
’d rather be d

              
ead than sleep

  
 alone
  
I told her tha

t she’s everyt

hing

That I lack de

ep inside

That I'll alwa

ys see her, in

 the passenger

 seat
             
Of that black 

              
two-seater tha

              
t's parked out

        
 in the rain


[Chorus]
              
You picked the

 
 wrong one
              
If you're in i

          
t for the long

 run
              
And I got the 


passion
              
But I don't gi

       
ve it away
             
But when the t

ime's right
              
I'm a hell of 

  
a good night
              
I'll make you 


burn bright
              
As the heat of

     
 the day

[Verse 2]

Broke down, ou

t of gas, unde

rneath the ove

rpass

Thought we'd h

ave a look aro

und my old sto

mping ground
             
Girl so pretty

              
, won't you le

              
ave the city f

     
or a while?

Thumbed a ride

 up the road, 

winter wind is

 blowing cold

"Jesus is Lord

" up ahead on 

the billboard
             
But tonight su

              
re shows me yo

            
u roll your ri

de



[Chorus]
              
You picked the

 
 wrong one
              
If you're in i

          
t for the long

 run
              
And I got the 


passion
              
But I don't gi

       
ve it away
             
But when the t

ime's right
              
I'm a hell of 

  
a good night
              
I'll make you 


burn bright
              
As the heat of

     
 the day


[Guitar Solo]
            
            


[Out-Chorus]
              
You picked the

 
 wrong one
              
If you're in i

          
t for the long

 run
              
And I got the 


passion
